Tech

From the start of term 3, Te Ngahere has been learning to make useful things with pallets.  First we had to find out what we wanted to make. Secondly we drew it on a scrap piece of paper, And then Mr Lindsay had a look at our drawing before we measured our plan. Ethan showed Reitu and I how to use a power saw, I didn’t understand how to use the saw, but it was ok because Reitu got it, and I had to stand on the wood so it didn’t move. We enjoyed it, we are making a birdhouse and I hope it works out.

Writing

This week in Te Ngahere we have been doing argument writing. It was our choice of what we wanted to write about. I chose to argue that kids should bring their phones into school. I am learning to write an argument to persuade someone to do something, give me something or allow me to do something.

I have not finished my writing but I will post it sometime soon.

Sugar

On Monday Te Ngahere were learning about sugar and our health with Whaea Gina. Whaea Gina comes once a fortnight and she stays all day to work with every class in our school.

When we were learning about sugar I was the one to put the on Mother drink, I bet that was the one with the most sugar in it. It was fun learning that with Whaea Gina.
